Editing Sections Included in ProCamera Editing Studio

Depth editing tool

Bokeh effect: The Depth editing tool is specially developed to simulate the effect of different aperture sizes. The simulated aperture effect allows you to adjust the desired depth of field. Tap on the area that should not be affected by depth blur (typically the face of your subject).

RAW editing tools

The RAW editing tools are specially developed to edit RAW/ProRAW photos. They include the following adjustable parameters:

Filters

ProCamera includes handcrafted filter sets, each with its own characteristics that apply a unique tone and feel to an image. These filters instantly change the look of a photo without the need to adjust editing parameters manually. The available filter sets in ProCamera are:

In ProCamera's Editing Studio, when a filter is selected, you can adjust its intensity by swiping down to decrease it or swiping up to increase it.

Pro Tools – General editing parameters

This section allows you to adjust the general photo editing parameters manually. Here is a list of the parameters that can be adjusted in this section of the ProCamera Editing Studio:

Brightness	Adjusts the overall lightness or darkness of an image.
Contrast	Adjusts the difference between the dark and light areas of an image.
Exposure	Adjusts the overall brightness level of an image, simulating the effect of changing the exposure in a camera.
Vibrance	Similar to Saturation, but more subtle and maintains pleasing skin tones.
Saturation	Increases or decreases the intensity of all colors in an image.
Temperature	Adjusts temperature and tint. Swipe vertically to make the image look cooler or warmer. Swipe horizontally to adjust tint (balance between green and magenta).
Sharpen	Enhances the clarity and definition of an image, improving the perceived focus and crispness.
Curves	Lets you adjust the tonal range and color balance precisely. Manipulate RGB channels individually or together, fine-tuning highlights, midtones, and shadows. Drag points on the curve to control brightness and contrast for professional-level photo adjustments.
Shadows	Adjusts the intensity of the darkest areas of an image.
Highlights	Adjusts the intensity of the brightest areas of an image.
Hue	Adjusts the color tones in an image.
Invert	Inverts the colors in an image.

Creative Lab – Special artistic effects

There are some unique artistic effects located in this section. You can customize an image with these effects according to your vision and bring an extraordinary feel and vibe to your photos. Here are the effects you can manipulate in this section:

Vignette	Darkens or lightens the edges of a photo to draw attention to the center of the image.
Lightning	Adds a beam of light to the center, increasing overall brightness at the central point, and reducing lighting around the edges.
Solar Wind	Adds a dynamic, glowing, and sometimes abstract appearance to images.
Magnetic Storm	Imparts a dynamic, intense, and often dramatic look to images.
Vapor	Adds haze to a photo, creating dreamy scenes – or adds contrast to reduce existing haze in an image.
Fade	Emulates a faded film effect, giving photos a matte, analog look.
Bloom	Softens details around edges and applies a pleasant glow to an image.
Gloom	Reduces the brightness of the highlights in an image and softens overall details, giving it a more muted and subdued appearance.

Perspective Correction

Using this section, you can achieve perfect perspective and ideally straight photos. This effect works similarly to Auto Perspective Correction, which operates in real-time when you take a photo, allowing you to see how the effect applies on the viewfinder. However, when using this effect in the Editing Studio, you can apply it afterwards during editing. Note that the app has to crop your photo to achieve the Perspective Correction effect (the more it needs to correct, the more is cropped).

There are two options in this section of ProCamera Editing Studio:

Show Mask	Displays how the app crops the image to achieve the Perspective Correction effect.
Auto Correct	Applies the Perspective Correction effect.

ProCut – cropping, adjusting image positioning and aspect ratio

In the ProCut section of the ProCamera Editing Studio, you can perform various manipulations with the image positioning. Here are the options included in the ProCut section:

Crop	Allows you to trim or remove the outer parts of an image to alter its size, shape, or composition by adjusting the outer control points. Active in all sections of the Studio.
Straighten	Used to align crooked horizons, correct leaning buildings, or level tilted subjects.
Aspect	Changes the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image (e.g. 3:2 or 16:9 format).
Rotate	Changes the orientation of a photo in 90° steps and allows mirroring.
Anamorphic	Corrects the distortion caused by anamorphic lenses (1.33x and 1.55x desuqeeze factor available).
